The longest walk video

Dear friends,

The link below is a short video recording (about five minutes or less long) that shows a group of our fellow citizens, from all cultural and economic backrounds, led by Early American Natives, who are walking to the nation's capital. They began in California, several months ago, and are anticipating that they will reach their destination by July 11th (2008).


Moreover, in a time when the government- and corporate-controlled mass communications media outlets focus our attention on the alleged differences between the two major political parties, rising gasoline prices, the latest summer movies being released, celebrity births and divorces, mass murderers and rapists, along with poorly-parented, uneducated teenage girls making pacts with each other to get pregnant, we should be assured that, while everything is okay here, there are still those who are truly looking towards the future, concerned about where our current course is taking us. Cheers!
